How much do you save by booking direct?

Airbnb charges an average of 14% service fee for guests. Booking.com sometimes charges up to 17%. On a €500 booking, you pay €70–85 extra in platform fees. At DLVX Rentals, there are no platform fees. You only pay the price of the property. That's a significant saving, especially for longer stays.
